twitter poems

While many fear that technology will kill print, others are using it to innovate new artistic expressions.  Here is a twitter poem I really liked:

Elizabeth Alexander, whose latest book of poems is “Crave Radiance,” and who wrote and delivered a poem for the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

spring break

Spring break is so close!  I am looking forward to a few days in New Orleans and then a few days at the beach in Texas.  What are your plans for the upcoming holiday?

Here are some pictures I took in New Orleans last fall:

emma watson

Lately I've been obsessed with Emma Watson.  This could be because I just finished the last Harry Potter book.  For the first time.  I don't know how I missed that boat, but basically I just read all of the books in the series over the past three months.  Anyway, she's beautiful.

Foutaises, a short by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

How simple yet creative to incorporate the small things in life as he does in this short-film and in Amelie.  It's the small things that count.

The World At Large by Modest Mouse

dior cherie

In light of all the controversy surrounding John Galliano, I've been watching my favorite Dior commercials.  How can such a vile man create such beautiful fashion?
